Buckwheat (BF) and millet (MF) are recommended as healthy foods due to their unique chemical composition and health benefits. This study investigated the thermal and rheological properties of BF-WF (wheat flour) and MF-WF flour blends at various ratios (0:100 to 100:0). Increasing BF or MF concentration led to higher cold paste viscosity and setback viscosity of pasting properties gel adhesiveness, storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″) of dynamic oscillatory rheology, and yield stress (σ0 ) of flow curve of WF. BF and MF addition decreased peak viscosity and breakdown of pasting, gel hardness, swelling volume, and consistency coefficient (K) of flow curve of WF. Thermal properties of the blends appeared additive of that of individual flour. Nonadditive effects were observed for some property changes in the mixtures, and indicated interactions between flour components. This may provide a physicochemical basis for using BF and MF in formulating novel healthy products.

  • Lipid transfer protein (LTP) is a key protein linked to food-induced anaphylaxis, particularly in Mediterranean European countries, but this was the first reported case in China.
  • A 12-year-old boy in China suffered from recurrent anaphylaxis triggered by intense exercise and showed high immunoglobulin E levels sensitized to various foods and pollens, especially mugwort and multiple grains and fruits.
  • After receiving guidance on avoiding certain foods before exercise and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, the boy experienced no further episodes over a 6-month follow-up, highlighting the need for awareness of LTP in similar cases.

In July 2022, stem lesions, approximately 4 to 5 cm in length as well as leaf wilt and dark brown necrosis on stems and roots were observed in two fields in Southwest Idaho on 20 to 30% of watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). To determine the causal agent, isolations were attempted from symptomatic tissue. The surface of the affected material was disinfected with 0.

In the dynamic landscape of agriculture and food science, incorporating emergent crops appears as a pioneering solution for diversifying agriculture, unlocking possibilities for sustainable cultivation and nutritional bolstering food security, and creating economic prospects amid evolving environmental and market conditions with positive impacts on human health. This review explores the potential of utilizing emergent crops in Mediterranean environments under current climate scenarios, emphasizing the manifold benefits of agricultural and food system diversification and assessing the impact of environmental factors on their quality and consumer health. Through a deep exploration of the resilience, nutritional value, and health impacts of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) such as quinoa, amaranth, chia, moringa, buckwheat, millet, teff, hemp, or desert truffles, their capacity to thrive in the changing Mediterranean climate is highlighted, offering novel opportunities for agriculture and functional food development.
